Tramping, Tales, Training and Travails
using widgetfactory, you can access captivate items on the stage - and if you can do that, you can do ANYTHING with ANYTHING - very exciting! override protected function enterRuntime():void { var mc:MovieClip = getSlideObjectByName("item"); mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function() {mc.rotation++}); } src:http://www.infosemantics.com.au/widgetking/2010/10/slip-sliding-away/
For a popup window, with resizing enabled but no scrolling etc., popping up in a windows XP resolution of 1024x768, maximum recording size is: 1012x636. ------------ NEWSFLASH! 28.11.2014 with updated browsers forcing an address bar and the rest, new size: 1009x632 you can pop up the simulations with this js: window.open('try it.htm','simulation','scrollbars=0,width=1005,height=658,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,status=0,resizeable=1'); The size is...

This was suprisingly annoying, AS2 is out of control. As usual Kirupa came through in the end. Here's a snippet: this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "100"); my_mc = new MovieClipLoader(); preload = new Object(); my_mc.addListener(preload); preload.onLoadStart = function(targetMC) { trace("started loading "+targetMC); container._visible = false; bar._visible = true; border._visible = true; pText._visible = true; }; preload.onLoadProgress = function(targetMC, lBytes,...

Captivate uses \r instead of \n for line breaks.
Just a handy snippet I pinched: function addCommaInNumber (number : Number) : String { var integer : String = "" ; var fraction : String = "" ; var string : String = number.toString(); var array : Array = string.split("."); var regex : RegExp = /(\d+)(\d{3})/; integer = array[0]; while( regex.test(integer) ) { integer =...

Pretty straightforward: debugField.scrollV = debugField.maxScrollV;
var boxes = $('.box'); $(boxes[0]).click(function() { alert('hi'); }
I am only beginning to experiment with JS with more depth, and have discovered jQuery has a data function which lets you store data against individual divs. Really useful for some bits and peices! $("#box0").data("uniqueID", 0); $("#box1").data("uniqueID", 1); Then to call it, $("#box0").click(function() { alert($(this).data("uniqueID")); I'll find out how to loop that through a set...

I changed this to not give an error if it finds nothing, but to produce 0. Used for accumulating overtime, so very important you see. Function PrevSheet(Range As Range) Application.Volatile PrevSheet = Application.Caller.Parent.Index If PrevSheet = 1 Then PrevSheet = 0 ElseIf Sheets(PrevSheet - 1).Type <> -4167 Then PrevSheet = CVErr(xlErrNA) Else PrevSheet = Sheets(PrevSheet...

Great for CP simulations. As easy as below (run from the js-opened child window/simulation) window.opener.focus(); window.close();
I've been trying to run javascript through Captivate to do some nice popup windows for a sub-simulation. When the javascript finally works, it'd replace the main clip with [object] - ie. it would run the URL in its own URL, so you'd see '[object] displayed on screen, rather than the CP movie! Pretty silly. Anyway,... Continue Reading →
I've been struggling with an issue of learning checks in a Captivate (5.5) course. I changed the 'skip' and 'back' buttons on a question slide to have the same style as the 'Next' and 'Back' buttons for the main navigation. However, what happened when reviewers actually used the course, is that if you went back... Continue Reading →
